Yep, the same user started a thread that got flagged for being really bad. I long for the old Hackernews.

SO..you are saying the admin is acting because this country abused benefits. And you are not blaming the admin for stopping OPT from said country but everyone else. Do you see the problem?
tequila_shot··on U.S. science is in chaos
I do not agree. What do you mean by EU focuses on gender studies?

Also, any country should be focused on research irrespective of AI, I do not see how AI is “coming” or how it’s related to this thread.

Alright, the post is down now.

tequila_shot··on Launch HN: Chert (YC P26) – Twilio for iMessage
This is a very simple integration and the fallback is also pretty straightforward to implement technically. What’s the differentiator? Why would companies use your product?
tequila_shot··on DeepSeek makes the V4 Pro price discount permanent
Yes - the model is REALLY good. I try Claude at work and Deepseek personally and this is the only model that works without trying to actively bankcrypt me.

You no longer need "their coding agent". You can hook up claude code to use Deepseek. Works perfectly.

oook, but why?
tequila_shot··on Notion releases offline mode
I guess for a lot of users like myself using Notion ship has sailed. Most of them have moved to Obsidian, with the new database feature of Obsidian, and it being free, I do not see why users would choose Notion over Obsidian.

Unless employees in your company are reporting to you in India, your hopes of getting into an EB1 category is close to zero. You need to prove that you've managed EMPLOYEES of your company in multiple countries other than the US.

the BIG 4 I'm referring to are Accenture, McKinsey, BCG and Bain.
tequila_shot··on When McKinsey comes to town
This. They are just a rubber stamp on some of the shitty decisions that management makes.
tequila_shot··on When McKinsey comes to town
I'm talking about a fresh out of college grad/undergrad.

Managers charge 400-600(mind you 25% on top of this is for travel).

tequila_shot··on When McKinsey comes to town
I've been in one of the "Big 4" Consulting firms, and I can vouch for the article. As a "Senior" the Customer is charged 150-160$/hour and on top of that 25% for travel. The work that we did for these customers was lackluster. We used to come in as "experts", get all the technical work done from body shops in India and offshore. I was shocked to see that Customers just keep paying for these expensive services, and have no clue they are getting hoodwinked.

tequila_shot··on Chamath Palihapitiya on Wallstreetbets [audio]
um, I don't follow wsb, but based purely on what you said, you don't back your comments either. So much for taking the high-horse. Chamath at least has the$$ to show for.
